Lately, life has been rough and coarse; how have I strayed off course? Be my light and show the way, for You alone are Love’s real source. O my Lord, please touch me with Your spiritual purity! Open my eyes, that I may see… the full beauty of Thee. Cure me of my blindness, as I wander in this wilderness; meet me where I am, with Your loving kindness. O my Lord, please touch me with Your spiritual purity! Open my eyes, that I may see… the full beauty of Thee. I’m not wanting more excuses, to explain away how my sin oozes; lift me up that I may find the holy joy true faith produces. O my Lord, please touch me with Your spiritual purity! Open my eyes, that I may see… the full beauty of Thee. . . . Author Notes: Loosely based on: John 9:8-11 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://amzn.to/1ffo9YZ By Joseph J.
